I thought the characters were well crafted and likeable/similar in tone to the Elm St kids which I haven't struck in a modern era of this type for a long time. A flawed film but still enjoyable nonetheless. I think this will be a minor cult hit for the teenage market once it hits DVD (perhaps a gateway flick to those sick of Twilight) but those more well versed in horror have seen it all before. This has been universally trashed and a lot of the reviews have made me laugh with all the "How could the guy who made [insert classic title here] have made this" comments. Craven has always been patchy right from the get go so save your fallen master bullshit...
Agree...after reading so much bad reviews, it really turned out pretty enjoyable indeed. Liked it too.

I have a hard time giving it less then a 3/5, though, so here it is:

3/5.
Sorry, I found it annoyingly dull.

Hyenas (2010)



WereHyenas!

>>: D

Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)



There was a Night Shyamalan feel all over it; even in few scenes it was like watching The Happening II: The Shadow Invaders! A pretty "dark" & disappointing effort from Brad Anderson.

>>: C-
